Love how Brian F actively engages with the games he’s not familiar with and asks questions, and seems to be genuinely interested

[@nobodygoodfr9556]

It’s crazy how much of a skill it is to talk with people genuinely when you know you’re recording

[@alhyena2002]

Yeah, he seems like he's enjoying the conversation instead of just recording for content, it's nice to see

[@zanpakutoman4225]

Yeah, sometimes you can tell someone's trying to show interest, in videos like this. But, they go COMPLETELY silent while the explanation is going on, until the person talking emphasizes something. I think it's fair that you can't force someone to be interested. But, I feel like there are better ways to treat it than just going "OH~ That's crazy~" when the person talking finishes their thought.

[@kamesennin4444]

I understand why Brian was so perplexed by bacchus sigh; LK didn’t explain Johnny or his mechanics enough. Blue burst specifically caused the glitch, and Johnny only ever used bacchus when going for an unblock-able. So if he goes for it in this instance, he should be baiting burst for one. But also Johnny is a level up character. He has to spend his coins to level up his mist finer stance and make the cancels better. If he releases the move he spends all his levels. That’s why Johnny doesn’t use Mist Finer without canceling it on block, his block pressure falls apart without levels, and so do his confirms (the main things that make him so good). He does use mist finer release a lot in neutral like LK said, but that’s only at level 1. Conclusion, Johnny doesn’t want to spend Mist Finer without reward and being able to coin up + the consensus of losing mist when hit made people not find the bug for quite a while.

[@seijiikari9395]

Yeah I think LK missed that when explaining the mechanics, it’s all well and good to know when he hits level 3 he can cancel normals to make them safe but without knowing leveling is not a permanent install you wouldn’t realize why it’s not used that way

[@kevingriffith6011]

9:23 It's a shame it took them so long to add some saucy characters to the game, but the late additions all had some fun stuff to play with. Menat, G, Kage, Gill, Seth, Rose, Akira, Oro... I swear some of these characters launched with more sauce than the entire season 1 cast combined.

[@NeoBoneGirl]

That's just kinda Street Fighter. A lot of the sauce is either gimmicks or it's accidental (like Aegis Reflector unblockables)

[@LordKnightfgc]

It's a tough thing on the dev side because (this is a theory btw just based on what I've seen), I think devs are scared of making characters too broken and the game getting a bad rap, so they play it safe with the launch roster, see how the game plays, and then go from there. Obv the s1 dlc roster is planned in advance, but they have time to wait and see what type of tactics are strong, how people use resources, mechanics etc

[@mudgepeeman3508]

Don't forget about dan

[@JJStylies]

​@@LordKnightfgc there's also the fact that the longer devs can watch players of their game, the better they understand and can balance a more complicated thing. On top of that, starting with the basic shoto and iterating from there makes a lot of sense from a development standpoint.

[@Just.Kidding]

@@LordKnightfgc I think you're partially right in that it _used_ to be that way, but thankfully - as we can see with SF6 - the new heads of the fighting game division are taking things in a simply better direction.

[@genny_generic]

oh love to see the brain_f collab. love this series, i really enjoy learning about specifically interesting fighting game things.

[@Simon_E32]

10/10, Brian seemed so interested in understanding each move/setup

[@NeoBoneGirl]

I think the reason that the Bacchus Sigh glitch wasn't found for so long was partly because of slow information but it's also like how I think LK was trying to say but didn't really explain well, is that unless it was unleveled mist finer, you'd never just DO it, since levels are an important resource and you usually want to keep them unless you can get something you know is guaranteed, because better Mist Finer is too good to give up for nothing. Even if someone just did a leveled mist finer in neutral and it hit unblockable, it would be easy to chalk it up to "they just got hit in neutral" instead of "they got unblockabled", since you can't clearly confirm if they were blocking or not in neutral just by watching, and getting hit could even gaslight the player into thinking "Guess I dashblocked too late" or "Guess I was holding 2 instead of 1"

[@peanutbuttersf7662]

i would like to say, you are the best. as someone who did not play xrd, hearing that nobody noticed an unblockable like that for a year sounds crazy

[@Dunker401]

One thing I want to add to this list is adachi B ziodyne in bbtag. A full screen projectile that lasts for like 5 seconds. In a team based game where you can switch to your partner that has really potent hi/low mix that can’t be pushblocked because it’s technically your partners move that your blocking and not the character advancing. And if that wasn’t enough if you’re close to the wall even if you burst and get hit by the very end of the projectile it causes a wall splat where you will eat a full combo anyway.

[@atbtrendy9932]

Adachi deserves to be top tier

[@toosquare]

bbtag had worse stuff, Narukami and Jin's supers were fullscreen almost entirely unavoidable projectiles that did half your health in chip damage lol

[@Dunker401]

@@toosquare yes but there supers and cost resources, and that’s only true for Jin as narukami you can still punish it from full screen. Where as adachi projectile cost no meter and your freely allowed to switch to your other character to mix.

[@MidWestWolf1985]

Ive been loving these collabs LK, you have really good synergy with every guest, which is nice to see. Another subject that would be fun would he favorite characters- characters whose gameplans you like, whose movelists you think are cool, ones that got you important wins, or just ones that are fun to play. Its fun hearing people gush about stuff they like

[@lilliangoulston5706]

You should bring Diaphone on so he can go over crazy versus game moves I would love to see how he talks about BBTAG stuff, that game has some disgusting setups

[@opplerdop]

55:38 reminds me of the early years of people saying X or Y move has great "priority" when that straight up wasn't a system in those games and it actually just had a good hitbox

[@Gilbot9000]

Man I loved this team-up. Brian was a great guest. Can't wait to see more of this!

[@kahlt_]

VERY surprised Brian didn't mention the Blanka time stop tbh, the single most broken thing in SFV's history

[@DarkenedAuras7653]

I suspect they're not doing major bugs. That's not "unfair" so much as "entirely gamebreaking"

[@SirCheeseburgur]

it was also immediately banned and then patched out once it was discovered so it's not like it has much of a history to talk about

[@troublewakingup]

Oro is such a sick character specially the things oro mains recognize with the RNG Brian once showed a combo that wouldn't work with blanka-chan dolls, and he has a 0 to stun combo on low stun characters it's pretty impractical but it's sick, not even mentioning the sagas of micro optimization

[@quinnah5544]

R.I.P tengu stones, it was a joy to watch brine perform daylight robbery and filthy comebacks with oro

[@tatarin45]

I feel like an important part of the Johnny situtation that didn't get brought up (unless I'm deaf, also a possibility) is that you're not actually going to be using Bacchus Sigh to begin with unless you're about to do an unblockable setup, and the really good setups are just everything-safe anyway so it's not like Johnny got smacked before landing the unblockable that often.

[@ZhangHe2369]

I remember the bacchus sigh glitch had to do with hitting johnny with blue burst specifically and it only took away the animation instead of the unblockable debuff as well. Otherwise, it worked as intended with every other attack. That's why it took so long to find iirc.

[@Raxyz_0]

To put it into context when Brian said that just getting out of corner is already annoying: One of the patches in SFV where Cammy was Top 1, one of the reasons she was Top 1 is because if you cornered her while she had Trigger active and full meter, she could wakeup DP (one of the few "meterless" invincible DPs in the game) and cancel into CA. If you tried to meaty you'd get combo'd and put into the corner, if you blocked she was still safe from 98% of the cast because her whiffed CA in the corner moved her full screen. In short: Cornering Cammy while she had FULL resources meant that she could get out of the corner "for free" for SF standards.

[@fenimore-2854]

Honestly rev1 release bacchus sigh was broken enough as is without the infinite duration bug, back when it just flat out made mist finer unlockable rather than a stagger you have to lab around

[@NeoBoneGirl]

You still have to, it's just that the situation is a bit better, but more importantly the combo he gets off the stagger is WAY worse than the one he'd get off the old unblockable

[@96bmb]

Johnny in rev1 was hella strong if not outright broken. Guilty Gear Sign Ramlethals swords were independent to her. Meaning, even if she got hit, the sword would keep swinging. Hella broken.

[@fenimore-2854]

Rev 1 Johnny was so utterly busted, Satou the Johnny god quit xrd because he thought Johnny was incredibly braindead to play

[@96bmb]

@@fenimore-2854 Coolfactor the character tho. The Karinchu tech trap was some of the coolest stuff you could do in xrd. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKmqdnmAbNh9oqs For how stupid good he was, he was also the coolest imo

[@WiqidBritt]

The Taokaka reversal reminds me of Rose's Alpha Counter. Everyone else's does some damage and knocks you back, Rose's doesn't do any damage itself but it does switch sides in the corner and leaves you open for a full combo.

I love that "They're paying for their crimes." "...What did they *do?*" concept that was alluded to.

Cyrax bombs from MK9 come to mind for unfair attacks. He was like the only guy that could 0 to death people with a nearly unblockable set up. Like if Kabal wasnt around being extra overtuned, Cyrax may have been the guy

[@Mario_bland]

I like how brian said hes going into deep into the vaults and vsav music starts playing. Fooled me so hard.

[@harryf9885]

25:00 I think the “1!2!3!” voice-line also contributes to the move being as annoying as it is. That’s something important for game designers to think about. How often is a move going to be used? If it’s used constantly and is meant to be a powerful neutral tool should it really have a loud voice-line? How does the voice-line sound repeated over and over? Does it still sound good or does it make the character sound like a preschooler that just learned to count to 3? How similar is it to their other voice-lines? Another great example of a failure in this respect is pretty much every Storm voice-line in MVCS games. Anyone got some other examples?
